MIKROPOLIS – RE BRAND ALERT!
The Danish cocktail wizards have had a full re brand from the OG style we’ve become used to. This new fresh approach is what you’d expect from the Danes and moves towards a much more grown up feeling for what are maybe the best RTD cocktails on the market! More info on will follow in a separate mailer in a few weeks time – for now stock up and have a look for yourself!
We have three new NOITA wines – including versions on keg and it’s tasting flippin’ amazing. Treat your customers to some – they deserve it. Also be sure to check out the Finnish RTD canned cocktail from Ägräs Distillery for something really unique.
All hail the JESTER KING! They were arguably stars of the show at the recent Riverside festival in London – if you didn’t get to try some of their sensational sours, then fear not as we brought over a little extra to sate the ardent fans amongst you. And from Blighty we have the two new monthly fresh drops from BARON – killing it again with a ‘go to’ PiIsner and a NEIPA. VERDANT are also making strides, as they offer up another dependably delicious selection of pales, a DIPA version of ‘Even Sharks’ and also accompanied by a smashing US styled Wheat beer – a perfect appendage to your order.
And finally…we’d like to welcome the ALBERT DOULET winery on board – we’ve been on the look out for a Distant Lands House fizz for some time. One that is approachable in both style and price yet cuts way above your average force carb’d Prosecco. We now have two versions in stock. Come grab them!
Featured Releases
MIKROPOLIS COCKTAILS
Our favourite RTD cocktail is back in kegs and cans with beautiful new packaging! We’re introing the three classic’s back into the market; Verbena Gin & Tonic, Rhubarb Crush, and the absolutely smashable Grapefruit Spritzer.
All at 6.5%, all balanced and nuanced for maximum moreishness and price wise, well, competitive is not the word. Guaranteed crowd pleasers.
ALBERT DOULET
In slightly better financial news we are pleased to announce our new house fizz – at a very reasonable sub £9 per bottle. Both varietals tick the boxes – the Grande Reserve Crementde Limoux & Blanquette de Limoux versions giving the natural fizz due to secondary fermentation in the bottle or ‘methode champenoise’ if you will. The quality is amazing for the price on these – we challenge you to find a better party starter!
JESTER KING
After their Riverside appearance and whistle stop collab and tasting tour, we had to bring a little extra JK in for you. There’s ltd lines across several skus. Our top tips are…in can their ‘Ordinary Bitter’ – all the way from Texas. A beautiful irony if ever there was one. What a belter! And in keg ‘Citrus Froot Direct‘ – a DDH Farmhouse Pale with Texan Dancy Mandarins & Hamlin Oranges and all the zest to boot. Soooper refreshing!
NOITA
New natural wines and vintages from the funky world of Noita including KEGS! We have two newbies inc. the ‘Gruner Veltliner‘ showcasing ripe apple, fresh citrus & dried apricot. Whilst ‘Kosmos‘ is a delicate, light and playful easy drinking Rosé, with plenty of fresh cherry and wild strawberry bursting through. With new vintages of Hexbag, Pet Nat & Flux Lumen also, it’s a great time to see what all the fuss is about these ‘urban’ wines. Well worth the money.
ÄGRÄS
ÄGRÄS distillery is under the same roof as Noita in Fiskars, creating Finnish spirits with natural ingredients. We have got our hands on their canned cocktail. Akvavit together with nettle, fennel seed and a splash of lemon makes for a one of a kind “Ready To Drink” beverage. The world’s first akvavit based RTD. This refreshing experience from the forests of Finland is available in can. Pair it with fish and chips, trust us!
BARON
It’s safe to say Baron have found their groove as they keep up their QC on each months releases. Two straight up palate pleasers here – one 7% IPA ‘Butchers Dog‘ that’s heavy on the Loral dosing, so expect a big floral and citrus accent.
Dialling it back there’s also the ‘Manhunt‘ Bavarian style pilsner, the Hitmans after work drink of choice. Lagered for 6 weeks for extra crisp and dryness. *Smacks lips*
VERDANT
*Please Note – Verdants pricing have increased by 5% across the board excluding ‘Lightbulb’ which will remain fixed. Sorry to be bearer of that news, however we appreciate your understanding on the global situation. In other news, quality control remains at an all time high at Verdant Towers, with new pales and a US Wheat beer redressing the balance between hop bombs and other sessionable styles. Check out the lush new additions on the list. Incredible beers from an incredibly consistent brewery.
